I got myself an EOS 3 not long ago so I can't say anything about that body.
I did, however, recently test a roll of Kodak HIE in my Rebel 2000, another
body that uses an infrared sprocket counter. This was my first roll of
infrared film. I rated it at ISO 400, shot with a B+W 91 (Wratten 29)
filter (deep red) and bracketed around +/- 2 stops. The surprising thing
(to me anyway) was that all the -2 shots very significantly fogged (half a
centimeter or so), while I couldn't see any fogging at all (or very, very
little) at the normal exposure and nothing at all on the +2 shots. The +2
were very bright, though, so no wonder.
I read on the net that bracketing was recommended (two stops on either side
as I did), but I find that most of the shots look best at the given
exposure. In a few cases, the underexposed frames looked slightly better,
but not significantly better. All the overexposed frames were a waste in my
opinion.
I get the film from B&H and use A&I (Hollywood) for the processing.
